Line Shape and Profile of the LO Phonon Modes in Mixed Alloy System In1-x-yGaxAlyAs Epitaxial Layers Grown on InP

Gazi University, Faculty of Arts and Science, Department of Physics, 06500 Teknikokullar, Ankara, Turkey

Abstract

In this work. linewidth variations versus compositions of the first-order longitudinal optic (LO) phonon modes in the mixed alloy system are studied. The asymmetry and broadening of the LO modes is explained using a “spatial correlation” model with a Gaussian correlation function. The system investigated here were In1-x-yGaxAlyAs quaternary alloys lattice-matched to InP(with x+y ≈47%). The quaternary alloy samples were grown as epilayers on (001) InP substrates by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE).
